Chapter 488: Decisive Battle with Zhuge Liang (3)
"It's too far a detour. You know that Yuanba and Cunxiao are in Zhuge Liang's camp, and they may be exposed at any time, and I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on. Lu Bu was very anxious.
"My lord, now is not the time to be in a hurry. We must ensure the safety of the whole army. There are ambushes in the rocky forest, which means that Zhuge Liang already knew that we were coming, and he deliberately set up obstacles.... ”
"Not good!"
Lu Bu's face was stunned, as if he remembered something, and said even more worriedly: "Zhuge Liang set up an ambush in the rocky forest to block the advance of our army. It shows that Yuanba and Cunxiao have already fought with Zhuge Liang. We have to get there right away! Otherwise, the strange soldiers we arranged in Zhuge Liang's camp will not be able to play a role. Yuanba and Cunxiao are also in danger. ”
Lu Bu's speculation is not unreasonable.
Xu Shu also began to worry.
If you take a detour to Zhuge Liang's camp, even if it goes well, it will take half a day to arrive. Thinking about the troops around Zhang Ren, there are only more than 5,000 people, plus Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, who have to face hundreds of thousands of Shu troops.
The situation is also too critical.
Song Xian, who had always kept a low profile, drove his horse to Lu Bu's side and said, "Lord Lord, the last general thinks that the ambush soldiers in Duoshilin are a large-scale formation, we don't need to defeat them all, right?" As long as a two-zhang wide road can be carved for our army to pass. General Han's 1st Division, known as the elite of the new army, has plenty of ammunition and should not be difficult to do. ”
Hey?
Song Xian's suggestion made Lu Bu's eyes shine.
Xu Shu also looked back at him.
Song Xian's face was confused: "What's the matter, lord, isn't what the last general said wrong?" ”
"That's right!"
Xu Shu patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Yes, General Song, what you just said is very insightful." It also solves our urgent needs. ”
Lu Bu also praised Song Xian: "General Song is becoming more and more good at fighting..." ”
I don't know whether this is a positive or a derogatory one.
Song Xianquan should praise it, hehe hugged his fists and said: "This is because the last general has followed the lord and the military master for a long time, and he has received some more lessons." ”
"Hmm...."
Lu Bu and Xu Shu glanced at each other and nodded.
Lu Bu said: "Pass the order, let Han Xin's 1st Division open the way in front." If you can't fight the enemy, you can only use grenades to deter. Kill a two-zhang wide road to ensure the smooth passage of our army. ”
"No."
The order is given.
Han Xin was a little hesitant when he learned of Lu Bu's intentions.
He had just carefully observed the situation in the Duoshi Forest and found that it was some kind of wonderful formation laid by Zhuge Liang. This formation is very difficult to deal with. If there is artillery, it's better to say, just use grenades ...
But!
Lu Bu has already issued a strict order, he must carry it out!
Besides, the strategy given by Lu Bu is not impossible, it just needs his 1st Division to have strong firepower to cover the main force. And this is precisely the strength of the 1st Division.
"Then let's try it..."
Han Xin muttered to himself, and said to the few heralds behind him: "Order all brigades and regiments, with companies and platoons as units, in the order of their formation, to march in turn. Upon spotting the enemy, shoot directly with a grenade. Fight a bloody way to ensure the passage of our army. ”
"No..."
The heralds rushed to give the order.
It didn't take long for the soldiers organized into 1 regiment, 1 battalion and 1 company, as the vanguard of the attack on the multi-stone forest. They were arranged in eight rows, each in a group of four, and advanced in a straight line.
Whoosh...
As soon as he entered the woods, he was attacked by arrows.
Fifty meters away, there were two rows of boulders, and four rows of archers came out from behind, shooting in turn. This attack is non-stop, dealing continuous damage from the start.
"Get down and fight back!"
Puff puff...
The 1st Company was also quick to react, and while a dozen of its companions were shot dead, everyone lay on the ground and returned fire with assault rifles, and with scattered bullets.
The power of the scattered bomb is not very strong, and the range is not very far, but now the two armies are less than 50 meters apart, so there is no need to worry about the range. And their shotshots are shot at a wide area without aiming. Often a assault gun can hit more than a dozen iron balls in the state of rice grains.
Puff puff...
Dense iron balls of rice hit it, injuring almost all the enemy soldiers who stood up. Although it will not kill them, serious injuries are certain.
A lot of people who are tricked in the face fall directly to the ground.
Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, the 1st Company continued to advance. They already knew that behind the trees, rocks, and haystacks, there was a high probability that there were ambushes. It is to raise vigilance and never give the enemy a chance to attack.
As they walked forward, the 2nd and 3rd companies in the back... Also quickly followed. However, the task of the 2nd and 3rd companies is not to open the way, but to stand guard in place!
A company is usually a hundred people, and it is arranged in four rows. This arrangement allows for a quick response, just like the group of enemies just encountered, and shoots non-stop.
They want to make sure that there is no enemy within a radius of a thousand meters, and if they do, they will be destroyed immediately!
Bang bang bang...
The 1st Company advanced about ten meters and encountered another group of enemies, who secretly stood up from behind the boulder and tried to sneak attack. But they didn't expect the 1st Company to be even faster than them. They had just emerged when they were hit back by a dense barrage of bullets.
"Pay attention behind the stones, behind the poles, around the grass, and even above your heads. There is a high probability that there will be an enemy. Their bows and arrows can reach us. If you spot an enemy, kill them immediately and don't give them a chance to shoot.... ”
The commander of the 1st Company talked about his experience as he walked forward.
"Yes..."
The vigilance of the soldiers was already very high, and when they heard the words of the company commander, they became more cautious.
Han Xin looked at the back for a while, called the herald and ordered: "Go and tell the lord that you can pass." ”
"No."
Half an hour later, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Lu Bu advanced along the road that Han Xin had hit.
But...
Not long after Lu Bu entered, news came from ahead. More than 100 people of the 1st Company were wiped out!
"What?!"
Not only Lu Bu was shocked, but even Han Xin couldn't believe it, and asked the soldiers who came to report the news: "All killed?" Did you encounter a large number of enemies? ”
"No, no, no enemy in sight." The soldier's answer made Han Xin's head black line.
He looked up into the distance. Due to the distance, I couldn't see anything clearly.
Han Xin turned around and said to Lu Bu: "My lord, the last general will personally lead the 2nd regiment and explore the way ahead!" ”
"Good. But be careful, this may be some kind of powerful formation laid by Zhuge Liang, if you are not sure, don't go deeper. Lu Bu replied.
"The last will understand."
Han Xin took more than 1,000 people from his guard battalion and the 2nd Regiment to replace the previous 1st Company and re-embarked on the road of the multi-stone forest.
In fact.
From this moment on, the strategy that Song Xian said had changed. Han Shin's 1st Division was not as simple as simply opening the way. They faced 150,000 enemies, and in front of them were eight arrays full of dangers.
